[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our ap’s mom died of covid and she really wants the vaccine. Where we live “in home care workers” are eligible so she’s going to try. I’ll be happy for her if she can get it as it will help keep the rest of us more protected. I have an auto-immune disorder but won’t be eligible for months. [/quote] Everyone wants the vaccine but does that makes it ok to skip the line? Healthy 20 something people who are not exposed to COVID through their work shouldn't be getting vaccine before teachers, daycare workers and older people. I have a lot of older people in my neighborhood having a hard time getting a vaccine appointment while you 20 something healthy au pair is getting the vaccine so she can go party. Not cool.[/quote] She’s not skipping the line, if au pairs are allowed to get it under phase 1b. She’s not going to party, she psychologically is terrified of getting covid and has been extremely cautious. Pretty much all of the older people we know and our kids’ teachers have all gotten their first dose already, and I’ve been actively assisted elderly neighbors with making appointments and she’s volunteered to drive them to them, so we are doing our part to help. My kids are in school so our whole family is at risk of being exposed through them. [/quote] If your au pair can get an appointment and the vaccine that’s a loophole. I assume you live in ward 1, 2 or 3. This probably explains why older people in my ward can’t find appointments. They don’t have the extra resources to have 3 people checking for appointments at the same time. I guess you want to make your au pair happy which is nice but please at other HFs, don’t encourage your au pairs to get appointments because they can. They are young, healthy, are supposed to be social distancing like everyone else, thus should get it when everyone else does.[/quote] Your thinking is funny. I assume you want young people to follow rules, wear masks and don’t socialize but they don’t have right to get the vaccine? I see only one selfish person rn.. We encourage all au pairs to get a vaccine so they can finally enjoy some time in US and do things they came here for [/quote] Of course you decided to skip my point on purpose. I never said young people should not get the vaccine, I said they shouldn't get it BEFORE the elderlies, teachers, daycare workers, immunocompromised people etc. But I am pretty sure you get that but you don't care because you want your au pair to get the vaccine now so she can be happy and go party without endangering your family. Talking about selfishness...[/quote]
